hey all!
i decided i'd join the forum in search of goodies for my golf, being only 20, i couldnt afford insurance on a gti (yet) so i had to go with the more insurance/eco friendly 1.9tdi!
there arent many mk5 forums so i'll probably use this and E38 as my main ones, i havent got a build thread yet! (im lazy) but i'll upload a pic when i get home from work :)

Welcome mate.
Good to have another Deisel owner to the forum.
Who did your remap? How much torque and bhp have you gained?

Uk-mkivs is also pretty hot.. that's my regular forum, lots of people up there have Mk5 platform cars. It's also nice and friendly. :congrats:

GRM in northampton did my remap, i've gained 40BHP and i cant remember the stats of my rolling road but they were pretty damn impressive!
below's a few (slightly old) pictures of my car! it has only got a bit lower and a lot cleaner since due to lack of funds for bigger updates :(

i think it doesnt look very low on the front because i have the pre facelift bumper rather than the big fat GTI,GT facelift one :( i literally have a fingerswidth of arch gap when i turn and thats it! :(
-
nice slammed :) :happy2:
-
thanks man its my pride and joy! :)
-
Looking at wheel arch matey

okay so i manned up and dropped it to the bottom on the front last weekend with helpers out, it sits even now :) pics to follow... my coilovers are FK Highsports and they're epic for lows! and very stiff

Stealth diesels are the way forward for daily cars. :-)
